My #wcw this week goes to the one and only @kiki_b1love ! As a wife and mother of four beautiful children, you inspire and push us all to be our best selves. I admire all of that you do for the community and the example that you set for your kids!

I am so grateful to have you on our team! 🤗🥰💖

There were no tablecloths at our first market, so we picked fresh flowers from my kitchen garden and filled some Mason jars and put them on the bare table. There were bright scarves and bandannas and masks of all shapes and sizes and social distancing measures in place to comply with the directives from the health department, which literally overlooks our Tuesday Market from their beautiful and strangely haunted brick complex above the park. There were new rules and long lines for the customers waiting to enter along the original blackened stone walls of the Arsenal, but people came and stayed and bought every single thing we had to offer. It was so powerful to see people willing to come out and support local food and farms and businesses. It felt wonderful to stand beneath the shade of great spreading trees and see people again, to greet them, to converse. After such a long season of seclusion the human connection was a beautiful thing, and so was the food available. There were freshly roasted coffee beans at the booth next door to compliment our scones and cinnamon rolls rolls for breakfast, and booths selling all sorts of vegetables and baked goods and eggs and meat. This is a market where you can truly do your grocery shopping in the fresh air, and pick up some local wine and beer and pet food and sanitizer and soap along the way. If you're in Pittsburgh, come see us next Tuesday and if you're not, seek out your local Farmers Market. There has never been a better time to support and rebuild your local community, food system, farmland, and small businesses, and friendly faces selling fresh food in the open air sure is a nice way to do just that.

“What the world needs now is love, sweet love” — and a side of absolute adorableness, thanks to Ava, a 18-month young head chef and restauranteur who is our #wcw this week 🤩
Why? 🤔
Because having only opened ‘Ava’s Kitchen’ at the end of April 2020, in five short weeks, she’s already amassed an impressive 1,500 (and counting ) follower base @myavachristine . We imagine it’ll be many months before we’re able to secure a coveted seat at her table for two 😉
This culinary chef cutie is a rising star, thanks to @christophe_kyle who is Ava’s favourite customer, biggest fan and proud #girldad 🙌🏾 In addition to peaceful rallies, donations and #blacklivesmatter activism, supporting black owned businesses is another longer term solution to help the cause.
And Ava’s dad did just that by giving his daughter’s ‘restaurant’ the sweetest review ever 🥰 Take out your “awww” counter (you’ll need it ) because the daddy-daughter bonding gives you all the feels 😍😍😍 Courtesy of @nowthisnews , check out their viral video below!
We can’t wait to see what Ava cooks up next in the future! 👼🏾👩🏾‍🍳 Until then, if you would like to support #blackfemaleentrepreneurs like Ava plus other #blackownedbusinesses in your area, visit @afrobizworld
From African art to zucchini bread and everything in between, AfroBiz is a comprehensive, digital directory of products and services from black communities in major cities across Canada, the United States, Africa and Europe — links are below.
A special, heartfelt thank you to @christophe_kyle and Ava’s mom @sweethoney_pie for sharing Ava’s bright light to the world for us to experience during this dark period 🙏🏾💛 .

Beach Waves for the week because they go with every look (especially those in #pink ) 👌

Everything feels difficult when you’re about to level up. 𝑫𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕.
Know this.. Any change you’ve been experiencing during these last few months whether good or bad is exactly what your life needed to get you to your next level. Embrace it. Don’t run from it.
Personally, my next level in life will be EPIC.. and it won’t be easy. But nothing in life is easy (that’s ok! ). So ask yourself, will you be with me or watching me.. If the answer is “watching me”, we need to talk. 💯
